20.01.2022 NDIS Clients Inverell Meals on Wheels offer our tasty healthy & affordable meals to members of the community who have an NDIS plan. To enable us to provide your meals, MEALS need to be included on your NDIS plan.... Please contact the NDIS on 1800 800 110 to arrange this if you have not already done so. A charge is made against your plan for the preparation and delivery of your meal. The client is still responsible for the actual meal cost as the NDIS does not cover this. If delivered meals are considered reasonable and necessary in your plan, the NDIS will cover the cost of the meal preparation and delivery. The ingredient costs are the client's responsibility to pay. Our meals are delivered by our friendly volunteers daily. Frozen meals are available for weekends, public holidays & out of town clients. We offer a range of meal choices to suit differing needs, catering for special dietary requirements including vegetarian, gluten free, diabetic and pureed meals. Clients are required to be home to accept their meal delivery. Our client’s value seeing the friendly faces of our volunteers and take comfort in knowing someone will be dropping by to say hello and check on their wellbeing. To arrange your healthy, home-cooked meal, please contact Beck Phone: (02) 6722 1951 or Email: [email protected]

20.01.2022 If you look hard enough, there really are some good and uplifting stories to come out of the COVID 19 pandemic, and the partnership between Joblink Plus and Inverell Meals on Wheels is just one of them. Joblink Plus is an organisation providing employment services and vocational training. They also support communities through direct contributions, social enterprise, and grass roots volunteering. Partnering with a diverse range of organisations with shared values, including lo...cal sporting teams, arts events, health initiatives as well as various youth and Indigenous programs. Jack, one of Joblink Plus employees, joined our team in April this year volunteering his time along with the Joblink Plus bus to pick up meals from McLean where they are prepared, cooked and packaged by our wonderful chefs and our coordination staff. Our processes had to change due to COVID when our volunteers were not able to access McLean to pick up meals ready for delivery unless we could provide a flu vaccination certificate for every volunteer. Jack transports these meals down to the office ready for collection by our incredible team of volunteers who then deliver on to our clientele. The support from Jack and the team at Joblink Plus has been an absolute bonus for us and something we are very grateful and thankful for.

17.01.2022 Tea & Scones go together, like, well.... Tea & Scones, making them the perfect match for a morning or afternoon tea treat. This recipe is so quick and easy, it can be put together and on the table in no time at all. Ingredients 500g Self Raising Flour 500g Thickened Cream... Your choice of toppings such as: Jam & Cream, Golden Syrup, Maple Syrup or Lemon Butter just to name a few. Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C 2. In a large bowl combine flour & cream. 3. Once combined tip out onto a lightly floured surface and flatten dough out ever so lightly to about a 4cm thickness (Over working the dough will result in tough scones). 4. Using a scone cutter, cut them out and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. 5. Place tray on middle shelf of oven and bake for approx. 12 - 15min until just golden on top and cooked through. Best served warm with your favourite toppings.

16.01.2022 Jodie has been with Meals on Wheels Inverell for 8 years now, starting back in August of 2012. Born and bred in Inverell, she enjoys the relaxed country lifestyle and community spirit that Inverell offers. Her main role in our service is in Administration and making sure everything runs smoothly on a day to day basis. COVID has seen her workload double since March this year with new protocols that have been put in place, such as, training and re-educating staff and volunteers... on safe work practices, duty of care and contactless delivery practices. Jodie has also worked in Meal Service, individualising meal plans for our clients. This is one aspect of the job that she loves, being able to provide individual programs for each and every client while meeting their needs, wishes, wants and preferences when it comes to their meals. She also enjoys seeing happy faces when she is able to deliver meals and engage in a friendly chat with our clients and provide a friendly check to ensure they are in good health & spirit. She has been completely overwhelmed by the support of the community during the COVID 19 pandemic. Seeing about 60 new faces through the door wanting to volunteer and help out in whatever capacity needed has been a very humbling experience and one that makes you proud to be part of this wonderful town. It was also heartbreaking to have to turn away many of our older volunteers, some that have been with us for many years due to Government restrictions, as they fell into the vulnerable age bracket and were no longer able to assist us. We are all hoping that restrictions are lifted soon so that we can invite you all back.

14.01.2022 It's R U OK?Day, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say af...ter R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK. There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis.

11.01.2022 Have you ever considered how beneficial a cup of tea can truly be? Here are a few examples of how different varieties can benefit you: 1. Green tea - has a high content of flavonoids, or antioxidants, and it's in a group called catechins, which are known to have more beneficial properties than vitamins C and E. This makes them more useful in reducing disease and illness. It also has a reputation for aiding weight loss and increasing energy levels.... 2. Black tea - much like green tea, black tea is loaded with antioxidants that contribute to its medicinal value. 3. Chamomile tea - due to its abundance of flavanoids and antioxidants, chamomile tea can strengthen the immune system, provide relief for symptoms of menstruation, reduce stress and can help you fall asleep at night. 4. Peppermint tea - is also loaded with antioxidants that can boost the immune system and decrease your chance of experiencing flu and cold symptoms. 5. Ginger tea - this tea's soothing and anti-inflammatory properties can provide great relief for nausea and an upset stomach caused by motion sickness. Ginger also works like a stimulator, so it can increase your energy when steeped into tea.

07.01.2022 All volunteers and staff are following our standard food safety procedures, good hand hygiene, and as an extra precaution are using hand sanitising gel between each home they visit. We have also asked our volunteers social distancing recommendations (where possible) when delivering meals. If you are a client and able to come to the door, we will deliver your meal either onto a tray or place on a chair or table just inside your door. We will make arrangements if you cannot e...asily get to the door to receive your meal. If you are unwell, have recently returned from an overseas trip, or have been told that you have been in contact with a person known to have the coronavirus please let us know by calling your local service in advance. We will make arrangements to ensure that you can still receive your home delivered meals, with some extra steps to keep our volunteers safe and well. COVID-19 has been tough for everyone. We thank our staff and volunteers for their hard work and patience during this period.
